    This is so moving, I´ve watched 10 times in a row. I came to this Irish song reading The Islandman book based in the Blasket
    Islands. In fact, the way you play the song, it would suit a film of the book if it was ever made. Thank you, all!

      Also check out Liam Clancy's version. He does this song in Gaelic several times: in a duet with Tommy Makem during the Clancy/Makem days(with Tommy on the whistle); in a 2002 live performance at Mooney's Pub in Waterford; and in his last performance in 2008 called "Live at The Bitter End" (a club in NY City).

    @gerald4013 Před 3 lety +6

    Awesome, but it's not the real title, the real title is in Irish "Ar Éirinn ní neosfainn cé hí", and "For Ireland I'd Not Tell Her Name" is the English translation (well actually it's "For Ireland I wouldn't say who she is").

    • @SamsonJames
      @SamsonJames  Před 3 lety +4

      That's interesting! I knew of the Irish title but not of the more direct translation. In fact, let me just add the Gaeilge into the tags.
